Please fill out the fields below so we can help you better. Note: you must provide your domain name to get help. Domain names for issued certificates are all made public in Certificate Transparency logs (e.g. [https://crt.sh/?q=example.com](https://crt.sh/?q=example.com)), so withholding your domain name here does not increase secrecy, but only makes it harder for us to provide help.

My domain is: 8 domains + www. for each: [cloverpatch.org.uk](http://cloverpatch.org.uk) [communitygroat.co.uk](http://communitygroat.co.uk) [communitygroat.org.uk](http://communitygroat.org.uk) [devotoo.org.uk](http://devotoo.org.uk) [dominame.net](http://dominame.net) hereticus-economicus.info [jeffgordon.me.uk](http://jeffgordon.me.uk) [mikegoodman.uk](http://mikegoodman.uk) [osspix.co.uk](http://osspix.co.uk)

IMPORTANT NOTES:

- Unable to install the certificate
- Congratulations! Your certificate and chain have been saved at:

Your key file has been saved at:  
/etc/letsencrypt/live/communitygroat.co.uk/privkey.pem  
Your cert will expire on 2020-08-14. To obtain a new or tweaked  
version of this certificate in the future, simply run certbot again  
with the “certonly” option. To non-interactively renew _all_ of  
your certificates, run “certbot renew”

My web server is (include version): apache 2.4.43.1

The operating system my web server runs on is (include version): Arch 5.6.13-arch1-1

My hosting provider, if applicable, is: rented dedicated server

I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don’t know): Yes

I’m using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel): No.

The version of my client is (e.g. output of `certbot --version` or `certbot-auto --version` if you’re using Certbot): certbot 1.4.0

“Cannot find an SSLCertificateFile directive in /files/etc/httpd/conf/vhosts/communitygroat.co.uk-le-ssl.conf/IfModule/VirtualHost. VirtualHost was not modified” - I don’t know how to fix this and uncommenting the modules and include command in `/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf` as directed in the Arch Wiki Apache page means I cannot restart the httpd.service without switching it all back again.  
It seems I’m caught in a circular trap because reading all the docs I could find and several web searches have not helped.

TIA

Mike

~]$ cat /etc/httpd/conf/vhosts/communitygroat.co.uk-le-ssl.conf

```

Thanks for the question, rg305. I’d better explain things more clearly. 🙂

```
cat: /etc/httpd/conf/vhosts/communitygroat.co.uk-le-ssl.conf: No such file or directory

```

As it says in the certbot error message in my OP,

```auto
Cannot find an SSLCertificateFile directive in /files/etc/httpd/conf/vhosts/communitygroat.co.uk-le-ssl.conf/IfModule/VirtualHost. *VirtualHost was not modified*

```

In fact none of the files were modified. How is a SSLCertificateFile directive inserted? Is that a Certbot or Apache function? My understanding from reading the docs was that the Apache plugin run with the --apache flag would add the https vhost working from the standard http version.

I have never seen vhosts built or modified directly by a script so really not sure what to expect. It’s also my first time using Arch as a web server, although I’ve been running Arch on desktop and laptop for years.

In case it helps, here are the contents of /etc/httpd/conf/vhosts/communitygroat.co.uk:

```auto
    <VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin webmaster@communitygroat.co.uk
    DocumentRoot "/srv/http/communitygroat.co.uk/public"

To answer some of your questions...

> [@mike-uk](#):
>

Generally by certbot; as the TLS enabled vhost config doesn't yet exist and is created by certbot.  
[which may be where things went wrong - I believe it tried and failed somewhere in that process]

The problem may have arisen from a corrupt HTTP vhost config.  
Apache is notorious for running at all cost and will generally overlook things that would stop a horse.  
So, if you could, please post the entire file using three backticks before and after your text.  
[presumably `/etc/httpd/conf/vhosts/communitygroat.co.uk.conf`]

Example:  
```  
Lots of text goes here  
and here  
and also here  
```

Hi Rudy, thanks for coming back to me, shows real patience! 🙂 I too expected `communitygroat.co.uk.conf` as a vhost file but the Arch Wiki example has the .conf missing both in the /conf/vhosts/ directory and in the /conf/httpd.conf vhosts list. Could that be the problem? It would be a very simple matter to fix.  
Here it is exactly as in /etc/httpd/conf/vhosts/ and, apart from the fqdn, repeated on each vhost in the vhosts directory:

```auto
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@communitygroat.co.uk
DocumentRoot “/srv/http/communitygroat.co.uk/public”
ServerName communitygroat.co.uk
ServerAlias www.communitygroat.co.uk
ErrorLog “/var/log/httpd/communitygroat.co.uk-error_log”
CustomLog “/var/log/httpd/communitygroat.co.uk-access_log” common

<Directory "/srv/http/communitygroat.co.uk">
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted
</Directory>
</vhost>

```

Sorry, I missed the closing vhost tag in the example above but it was copied and pasted directly from the server, as was this example.

Thanks,

Mike

I tried adding the .conf to the end of each file but it made no difference - same error message at the end of the same process.

Is that like that or like this:

It is important that the tag be there and spelled correctly.

Wow!  
So there is ONE certificate with all those names on it.  
OK.  
Noted.

Now let’s have a look at the renewal file for `communitygroat`  
We can find it in the folder `/etc/letsencrypt/renewal/`  
[if there are two, let’s see the .co not the .org]

I don’t understand how that can fix this problem.

The problem (so far) seems to be that you are trying to have certbot create a single vhost config file for all those domains - but it should be nine different vhost config files.

It would be simple, if long winded, to create separate files. Instead I simply read the docs and ran certbot --apache after installing certbot-apache as a plugin. I have used certbot with one cert on multiple domains on mail servers before but that was mostly on Debian, Stretch and Buster (9 and 10).

Please continue. I just thought of what the Arch Wiki was saying to show how I got to this place and add clarification if possible, not to confuse or to offend.
